Around this time last season, the Chicago Bulls were the toast of the NBA. They were a top seed and their new team looked very promising. All that positivity has been sapped. They are 11-18 with a roster that’s going nowhere fast. Less than two years removed from going all in to win, the Bulls […]

The Golden State Warriors lost several guys from their 2022 NBA championship run, including Gary Payton II, Otto Porter Jr., and Nemanja Bjelica.
